Opportunities to improve the care of patients with kidney transplant failure. | |

PMID: 12028460 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
BACKGROUND: Patients initiating dialysis after a failed kidney transplant are a subgroup of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients who have not been characterized. Exposure to immunosuppressive medications differentiates these patients from the general incident end-stage renal disease (ESRD) population. METHODS: Data from the Health Care Financing Administration 2728 form were used to determine the hematocrit, erythropoietin use, serum albumin and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) among 4643 patients with failed kidney transplants who initiated dialysis between April 1995 and December 1998. RESULTS: At dialysis initiation, the mean hematocrit, serum albumin and GFR were 27.5%, 3.3 g/dL, and 8.4 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively, and only 35% of patients had received erythropoietin. In a multivariate analysis, patients <45 years, females, patients of non-White race, non-diabetic patients, hemodialysis patients and patients with a lower serum albumin had a higher odds for hematocrit <30%. Erythropoietin use was associated with female gender, White race, increased time since transplantation, being employed, peritoneal dialysis, and higher serum albumin. Patients >/=45 years and patients with diabetes or congestive heart failure had higher odds for hypoalbuminemia, while employed patients, peritoneal dialysis patients, patients with higher hematocrit and patients who had received erythropoietin had lower odds of hypoalbuminemia. CONCLUSIONS: Despite being known to specialty physicians, patients with failed kidney transplants initiate dialysis at levels of hematocrit, serum albumin, and GFR that may be suboptimal and similar to those in the general incident ESRD population. Socioeconomic factors remain important barriers to the provision of CKD care even among these patients with established specialty physician contact. Improved CKD care could improve the outcomes of this unique subgroup of CKD patients. |

In the endless search for yield, a covered-call strategy can be an effective tool to supplement portfolio performance. In addition to finding returns from call premium, I'll try to incorporate higher quality dividend stocks for a little something extra. The guidelines for the covered-call strategy are:
Generating more than 7% per year from the calls and dividends combined is the overall goal.
Call should be at least 8% out of the money (OTM) to avoid being called away and to give room for underlying movement.
Targeted expirations will be within four months. Optimally, calls will be written on the same underlying stock 3-4 times per year.
Buying back calls to close before expirations takes place will be taken into account; yields are calculated bid-$0.05.
The picks should be looked upon as yield generators to supplement longer-term equity holdings. The above are only guidelines, however, not rules. Before utilizing the strategy, make sure to study it and know the potential hiccups that may occur.
Annualized Call Yield performance can be calculated as such:
= (Call premium - 0.05 /Stock price)/Days to expiration*365
Prices current as of December 27, 2012 market close
Summary on selection:
Yesterday I featured a very similar set of stocks, the Top 5 Dow Performers of 2012, I think this a good series to continue in the last of 2012. For this article I've chosen the Top 5 S&P 500 Performers, excluding Sprint(#2) due to its low stock price and Bank of America because it was in yesterday's article. These high gaining stocks paired with the call strategy can produce sustainable income on a portfolio that may be over-extended in the short run. My personal feeling is that Pulte Homes is extremely over done, due to the fact that the housing industry isn't roaring back with a vengeance which is what the stock price would have you believe.
The first half of 2013 will most likely be filled with market consolidation and possible weakness; this is a great time to write calls on stocks which have had massive runs. These companies aren't exactly the most innovative corporations on the planet and their massive bull runs this year should be a red flag, or at least a sign of caution. Playing it safe by generating income with the call could prove to be a very astute play in the near term.
YTD Performances (at close on 12/27/2012):
Most of these stocks, in my view, are over extended. Meaning if you write a call you will be able to profit on a momentum pullback in the underlying. Taking a look at the stocks below, you should notice the massive premiums in the calls. For the speculators out there, these stocks are giving you plenty of room to write a naked call while being far out of the money. The Expedia and Seagate contracts would be my favorites to write to uncovered, they are more than 10% out of the money at the moment.
I particularly like to utilize the covered call strategy on stocks that have had big run-ups and then slowed down in the face of immediate future volatility (fiscal cliff). The tried and true advice of "stick to the basics" is more and more relevant in today's turbulent markets. As always I'm not recommending equity buys and sells, I'm spotlighting calls to help generate income.

Re: Rick Smith's poor job of managing the cap has closed our window for the time bein
When my car won't start, I don't send it to the junkyard to be demolished. I take it to the mechanic. He performs diagnostics and determines what repairs need to be made and what parts are in good working order. Your methodology would be to treat this Texan team as if it is in the same situation as Tampa Bay... or the Texan team in 2005. Blow it up and start over! I am more interested in fixing what is broken and keeping what is working. Denying that anything is working when all of you are clearly disappointed with the season so far (meaning you expected the team to have a good season- meaning you agreed that there was a lot working on this team) is ironic, to say the least. Criticisms of the organization: 1. Head coach has done a poor job this year. He and Wade are over their heads against elite coaches- clearly illustrated last year vs. New England. 2. Marciano is a mess. As his Kubiak's tendency, he is slow to move on from members of his coaching staff. 3. They should've effectively addressed RT. 4. Ed Reed gamble is looking pretty foolish right now. 5. Wade Phillips is too predictable with man coverage. 6. Kubiak's playcalling tends to become more predictable late in the game, when the game is in doubt. 7. Smith's gamble on Montgomery was poor. ... there's more, but I have to go. I still believe the team plays for Kubiak... It is young, talented, and in position to be good for a long time if it is not mismanaged. |

Technical Account Manager Interview
I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Microsoft.
I applied to the position online and they requested a phone interview within a month. The interview was pretty straight forward and had no technical questions. It lasted for just half and hour and part of the time was spent talking about the position and the interviewer's experience with Microsoft. That left only about 15 minutes worth of behavioral questions and general running through my resume.
I heard back about 2 weeks after this phone interview and was not invited for an on-site interview.

I applied through college or university – interviewed at Microsoft.
I was e-mailed about my on campus interview a few days after the career fair held in my college in which Microsoft had it's stall and a huge line of applicants.
At the beginning of the interview, he let me know that we will go over my resume then he has a few "tactical" and behavioral questions for me.
My interview was for the TAM/AC position, was a 30mins interview in which most of the time was spent on my resume. (Although I think you are not supposed to go into detail, stick to the STAR approach and highlight the results of your work experience rather than just blabbing about your work responsibilities).
Then a couple of behavioral questions as to why I want to join Microsoft? etc...
I guess I spent too much time talking about my internships trying to relate them to "customer facing" and how I tackled several problems, that he didn't have time for "tactical questions"..Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took 3+ months – interviewed at Microsoft.
Applied a couple of months and totally forgot I even applied. June 2014. Got an email mid August scheduling initial phone interview. No updates for a couple of weeks then an email for phone interview (30 - 45 minutes). Had the interview and thought it went well. Waited over a month no follow up. Sent follow up / Thank you email right after interview and not even a word. The phone interview itself showed I knew more in my 13 years than the TAM I interviewed with who only had about 3 yrs experience....it was a good knowledge exchange.
I do have to say I observed some arrogance on the part of the interviewer (after-all they're Microsoft). It may be a great company but honestly I'm not impressed.
Whole process took about 3 months. Thankfully they were just one of many options I had on the table. Had to pass on the opportunity.Interview Questions

Face-to-face interview - I had six 45 minute interviews and one presentation. The entire day of interview lasted from 9AM to 3PM. It was 3 of us onsite interviewing for the TAM role that day but we all interviewed and presented separately.
The HR recruiters really spend time preparing you for your interview. If you make ti to the finals day interview they will email you lots of information. Info such as: about the TAM role, key initiatives for this role, key stakeholders and other internal organizations this role will interact with, how to prep/what to do pre-interview, and what to expect for your finals Day interview. They may also email you a scenario base question for you to complete a writing sample and a PowerPoint to edit and take with you on the day of your interview to be present to the team.

People Watching / The Waiting Room
18 comments:
Oh wow Prudence, you had quite the day!
Yes, I know all about the tennis balls on the feet of the walker. My husbands mother used to have them to keep her from gliding forward too quickly. They actually do work. And they come in all the latest fashion colors! Not. lol
And what is it about men and the moon? Did you ask him if he was a plumber?
Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed your people watching escapade! :)Love it, Prudence. Waiting room are great places to people watch... the one you met in particular. Totally felt like I was there with you...and equally creeped out by Mummy Man.
I people watched at the gym today, where I normally read. A man was talking so loudly and saying such...interesting ;)..things that I couldn't help but pay attention. He was either extremely rude or had a serious case of Tourettes, in which case I sympathize.You are so bad! You made me spray orange juice all over my phone! I couldn't stop laughing after reading plum bob's exciting adventure. You turned a very boring event into a very entertaining experience. I really enjoy the spin you put on such casual interactions throughout your day. You definitely have the author's touch;-)
ReplyDeleteI MUST do more of this. I find I have an easy time with the psychological make up of characters but the physical behaviors and reactions are more challenging, so i must go and watch people more often.
I work for a health care system, so sitting in a hospital is not uncommon. /but I have to say I really don't like being there - sick people hang out at hospitalsPrudence, a funny, scary, insightful look at the crazy mosaic of humans in action. There's a story everywhere, and it's great that you remind us to look. I wrote a scary piece about being on the inside of the emergency room with my dad a while back that touches on the same themes of humans and their weird ways:
Thanks for the taste of humanity's swarm!

Thick pieces of fresh fish fillet retain their moisture and flavor if ovenroasted at a high temperature for a short time. Escolar, salmon, halibut, cod, and moonfish (opah) all work with this method. I prefer fresh, green figs (Calimyrna, Kadota, Desert King) in this recipe; their color is stunning next to the red onion. But if you are using white or yellow onion, use Black Mission figs. Chopped steamed broccoli, or another bitter green vegetable, makes an excellent accompaniment.
- 2 medium red onions (about 1 pound), cut into ½-inch wedges
- 2 strips orange zest, each about ½ × 2 inches, cut into long thin slivers
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 firm ripe green figs, stems trimmed, halved lengthwise
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano
- 4 portions skinless and boneless halibut fillets or steaks, about ¾ inch thick,6 to 8 ounces each
- ¼ cup fresh orange juice
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Spread the onions and orange zest in a large (13 × 9-inch) roasting pan; drizzle with the olive oil; season with salt and a grinding of black pepper. Roast for 15 minutes, stirring once. Add the figs (if using dried, see the Variation below) and half of the oregano. Roast until the onions begin to brown at the edges, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 450°F.
3. Push the onions and figs to the side in the pan and add the halibut. Drizzle the orange juice over the fish. Sprinkle with the remaining oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Spoon some of the onions on top of the halibut. Return the pan to the oven and roast until the fish is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
4. Serve at once, with the roasted onions and figs spooned over the fish.
Variation with dried figs: Trim off the stems of 8 dried Calimyrna or Black Mission figs. Combine the figs and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and heat to a boil. Cook, covered, over low heat until the figs are plumped and tender and most of the water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool; then drain and cut the figs in half The figs can be prepared 2 or 3 days ahead and refrigerated, tightly covered, until ready to use.

Francis Manapul, THE FLASH artist and co-writer, shares his step-by-step process for a teaser image he created. The first 3 steps incorporate never-before-seen art from next month's issue #3. And in the last step, you can see how Francis manipulated the image for the DC Comics-The New 52 Art Tour. Enjoy!
I don't really have a design background. But I am a fan of bold and graphic images. Something about a simple well thought out composition just speaks to me, more so than a detailed drawing. If you've been following any of the new images released for The Flash, I'm sure you've noticed that I've started playing around with my composition and even started dabbling with typography. However when it came to designing this, it really was just dumb luck.
I'm a huge, HUGE, Will Eisner fan. He was an absolute genius. Inspired by him I wanted to create pages that not only told a story, but also worked as a title page. So playing around with the composition, and typography I started with a layout.
After the layout stage, I illustrated the page using traditional mediums (brushes, ink, and watercolor).
I wanted to incorporate "the Flash" typography with the illustration of the plane, and I knew it was easier to do digitally. It was also a safer route in case it didn't work. Luckily, I like to think it did. I colored the Flash simply because I needed to see what color for the text would compliment his red costume. This is when dumb luck struck. Ever so often I would turn off the line work layer to pick out the color and make adjustments. Most of the time it looks weird. But this time I found myself saying "hey that kinda looks cooler than the finished version". From there I put the hand lettering I had done back in. Then inspiration struck! I cleaned up the coloring, added some standard font types (I don't have many, just the presets in Photoshop) but they work just as well I think, and voila! I get to pretend I'm a graphic designer! I was asked to try and make the piece work for the DC Comics-The New 52 Art Tour, so I simply just added some process work in the background. Easy, peasy.Read More

Balance disability after stroke
Tyson, S, Hanley, M, Chillala, J, Selley, A and Tallis, R 2006, 'Balance disability after stroke' , Physical Therapy, 86 (1) , pp. 30-38.
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
Balance disability is common after stroke, but there is little detailed information about it. The aims of this study were to investigate the frequency of balance disability; to characterize different levels of disability; and to identify demographics, stroke pathology factors, and impairments associated with balance disability. Subjects. The subjects studied were 75 people with a first-time anterior circulation stroke; 37 subjects were men, the mean age was 71.5 years (SD12.2), and 46 subjects (61%) had left hemiplegia. Methods. Prospective hospital-based cross-sectional surveys were carried out in 2 British National Health Service trusts. The subjects' stroke pathology, demographics, balance disability, function, and neurologic impairments were recorded in a single testing session 2 to 4 weeks after stroke. Results. A total of 83% of the subjects (n62) had a balance disability; of these, 17 (27%) could sit but not stand, 25 (40%) could stand but not step, and 20 (33%) could step and walk but still had limited balance. Subjects with the most severe balance disability had more severe strokes, impairments, and disabilities. Weakness and sensation were associated with balance disability. Subject demographics, stroke pathology, and visuospatial neglect were not associated with balance disability. Discussion and Conclusion. Subjects with the most severe balance disability had the most severe strokes, impairments, and disabilities. Subject demographics, stroke pathology, and visuospatial neglect were not associated with balance disability.

DC Street Street: Part 1
Stephie G. is in D.C. Wooo! I've never taken street style photos before, but I decided to try today. I was touring memorials and stuff with my summer program and decided to give it a go. There were so many people taking pictures that no one was paying attention at all so I could be a super creep. I have no clue who these people are, so if it's you and you don't want to be on this blog, email us.

There are heroes -- even superheroes, as you will see -- in any movement. Most of the time, though, historical figures receive the accolades because, well, let's face it, what they accomplished was so legendary. But there are heroes on the HIV front who work among us today, exerting their influence and wielding power. For this issue of HIV Plus, which closes out the "aughties," the 2000-2009 decade, in which many of our country's AIDS service organizations reached their 25-year service mark, we honor these modern-day wonders.
We've partnered with AIDS Project Los Angeles, currently celebrating its 25th anniversary, to pay homage to 25 LGBT leaders who are actively involved in making sure that the fact that HIV continues to have a disproportionate impact on gay men is not overlooked. To many experts in the field, data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed their impressions that a "second wave" of the AIDS epidemic in gay America is under way. And now, with men of color and not just people who were once affected by what was disparagingly called the "gay, white disease" making up a majority of the newly diagnosed cases, this attention to the virus's reach is desperately needed.
We realize, of course, that by no means are there only 25 LGBT leaders who are creating the breakthroughs and the messages that are keeping the momentum of the movement going. Many are less public in their efforts; some probably don't even themselves yet realize the mission they've embarked on. We salute them all just as much. And as their fight continues, or begins, we hope that you too will give a salute to these women and men who we honor here -- as well as their magnificent predecessors, who set examples of almost superhuman feats.
Peter Anton, MD
One hears a lot about the role that blood plays in HIV disease: blood-based viral loads, antibodies in the blood to the virus, and so on. But Peter Anton says there's a part of the body that's more vulnerable to HIV's cellular attack-the gastrointestinal tract, or gut. "The intestine, which holds 60% to 80% of the body's immune system cells, is where HIV first goes after infection.
Studies have shown that within seven to 21 days after infection, HIV has depleted the CD4 cells in the gut while the same cells in the blood and lymph nodes are still not affected," explains Anton, who is director of the University of California, Los Angeles, Center for HIV Prevention Research.
In addition to working to better understand HIV's impact on the GI tract to uncover avenues toward new vaccines or treatments, Anton also is focusing on the role of the gut in direct HIV prevention, which is where infections occur through anal sex.
"This is important not only for men but for women too. Studies have shown women worldwide have a lot of rectal sex," he says. "So you can do all the HIV outreach possible about using condoms for vaginal sex, but if we don't start making people more aware that the rectum is the number 1 compartment in the body for HIV infection, we'll still be seeing high infection rates."
George Ayala
George Ayala is fighting hard to reverse one of the AIDS pandemic's most dangerous disparities. Although the group hit hardest by HIV in much of the world is men who have sex with men, less than 2% of global HIV funding is directed toward them.
"In more than 90 countries there's no data at all on gay men; it's like they don't exist," says Ayala, executive officer of the Global Forum on MSM and HIV.
To help establish services for MSM, the organization crafted a three-year action plan this summer to raise funds and assist groups around the world-from local programs in hard-hit towns to large-scale international outreach efforts. "The plan leverages our strengths in network development, information exchange, education, and advocacy to bolster the health and human rights of MSM globally," he says. "It's not going to be easy, but we're ready to roll our sleeves up and get to work."
A. Cornelius Baker
Cornelius Baker was home from college in 1981 when he heard that a young man he'd idolized in high school was very sick. "To have seen smart, talented people taken away immediately," he recalls, "I just thought, God, you have to do what you have to do, and I have to be involved."
Beyond just involving himself, Baker relinquished his youthful ambitions to work in theater and went on to become executive director of the National Association of People With AIDS and, later, Washington, D.C.'s Whitman-Walker Clinic.
Today, as HIV targets black gay men more prevalently than any other demographic, he is a much-needed leader at both the National Black Gay Men's Advocacy Coalition and the Academy for Educational Development Center on AIDS and Community Health.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PR- 155-12 April 26, 2012 STATEMENT OF MAYOR BLOOMBERG ON U.S. SENATE PASSAGE OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN REAUTHORIZATION ACT A joint letter from Mayor Bloomberg, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa to Senate leadership on the need for reauthorization is attached Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's statement follows: "The bipartisan passage of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act in the U.S. Senate today signals a strong commitment to the continuation of programs and services that have provided lifesaving assistance to hundreds of thousands of victims of domestic violence. The funding from this program has been used to establish the City's innovative Family Justice Centers, which have reduced the barriers faced by victims of domestic violence who are seeking help by providing victims one location where they can meet with a prosecutor, speak with a trained counselor, apply for housing and financial assistance and more. "The bill that passed today will follow New York City's lead and expand these vital domestic violence services to immigrant and lesbian, gay, and transgendered people. These communities experience the highest rates of violence and often have the most difficulty in accessing services. And in recognition of the persistent problem of sexual violence, today's bill also will strengthen the capacity of local, state and federal law enforcement to investigate and prosecute these crimes. "While there is further progress that must be made, today's reauthorization is an important step forward in protecting victims of domestic violence. I would like to thank Senators Schumer and Gillibrand for their continued leadership on this issue and all the Senators who voted for this important legislation today."

We arrived at the park after a very heavy storm dropped several inches of rain over the area. The owner assured us that the sites were usable and they were. Our main reason for visiting the area was to take a boat ride into the Okefenokee Swamp and the entrance to the Refuge was directly opposite to the park entrance. We found the owners to be both friendly and helpful and would recommend the park to anyone wishing to visit the area. The sites are pretty level and the restrooms and showers are clean and modern. We camped at Okefenokee Pastimes Camping in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: February, 2006 - $20.00
This is a bare bones park, but it was great. Mainly because right across the street is Okefenokee Swamp. The campground offer tours, but we were not here when the tour guides were available, which was disappointing but they need time off, too! We went to the swamp and spent the day, it was amazing. The park was perfect for what it is. You couldn't beat the price, but you should definitely go on line and read their rules, they are serious about weeding out the rule breakers, probably because it is such a small place, it is like you are camping in their backyard. So consider the rules you would post if you had 20 or 30 people camping in your yard! We camped at Okefenokee Pastimes Camping in a Motorhome.

Tim Tebow has been waived by the Jets, the end of an unsuccessful one-season experiment in New York.
Coach Rex Ryan said in a statement put out by the team in announcing the move Monday morning: "Unfortunately, things did not work out the way we all had hoped."
The Heisman Trophy winner attempted just eight passes after his ballyhooed arrival in a trade from the Denver Broncos in March 2012. He threw for 39 yards and rushed 32 times for 102 yards.
Meanwhile, starter Mark Sanchez struggled amid constant questions about Tebow's playing time. The Jets drafted quarterback Geno Smith in the second round of the NFL draft Friday.
Tebow had led the Broncos to the playoffs in 2011 but became expendable when Denver acquired Peyton Manning.

THURSDAY, April 9 (HealthDay News) -- In selected older patients with degenerative disc disease, single-level posterolateral lumbar arthrodesis with an iliac crest bone graft is a beneficial treatment, according to a study published in the April issue of the Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery.
Steven D. Glassman, M.D., of the Leatherman Spine Center in Louisville, Ky., and colleagues studied outcomes in 224 patients, including 174 who were younger than age 65, and 50 who were aged 65 and older.
After two years, the researchers found that older patients had greater mean improvements than young patients in the Oswestry Disability Index score (28.5 points versus 24.5 points) and the Short Form-36 physical component summary scores (14.2 points versus 11.7 points), and that older patients also had significantly greater improvements in leg pain scores (10.4 points versus 6.4 points).
"The present study revealed greater improvement in the older patients for virtually every clinical and health-related quality-of-life measure and at every time interval," the authors write. "While in many instances the differences were not significant, the pattern clearly demonstrates similar, if not better, outcomes in this older group of patients. In addition, these improvements occurred despite a higher rate of perioperative complications."
The study was supported by Medtronic Sofamor Danek; several authors disclosed a financial relationship with Medtronic.

Gov. Walker issues executive order to allow propane truck drivers to exceed workload due to cold
MADISON - Gov. Walker issued an executive order Thursday to allow "drivers of commercial motor vehicles transporting propane" to extend their work hours beyond the current 70 they are allowed to work.
"To protect the health, welfare and economic well-being of the 250,000 Wisconsin citizens who depend on propane to heat their homes," said Gov. Walker. "Due to the demand of propane used for heating residences and businesses, this Executive Order exempts drivers of commercial motor vehicles transporting propane from state and federal service restrictions for 10 days, from January 24 to February 3, 2013."
The order explains that state petroleum terminals have not been able to meet the demands of customers who rely on the demands of customers that need their products to heat their homes.
"Several state petroleum terminals... are currently on a propane rationing system until further notice," said Walker. "The increased demand for propane means drivers are working more hours per day, causing drivers to reach maximum weekly driving and on-duty limits more quickly than normal."

I think this went from purposeful gunshots around a dog for training and competition purposes that require it, to a thread about noise sensitive dogs, but I guess in each case, there are similarities when it comes to exposing a dog to external noise stimuli.
To the people who have the noise sensitive dogs: Have you tried the CD's they have for helping to cure noise sensitivities? I have no idea how well they work, since I have never needed or used one, but I imagine it would be worth a try.

Your dog did not exhibit the classic reaction of gunshyness. Your dog was distracted to a strange noise.. Gunshyness in the true sense is a dog that is nervy.Meaning has weak nerves. It is genetic.They behave in an obvious manner. Scared silly and looking for somewhere to go. Avoidance behavior. That is why we test potential police k9s for gunshyness. Our Retrievers for field trial and hunt tests as well. A truly gunshy dog cannot be trained to withstand it. Your dog is a pup. Proceed with patience and dont let folks make the training field sound like Kabul.

Thanks for all of the responses. It has been a while but I thought I'd follow up.
Kato has become pretty much neutral to gunshots now. One of the things I did was to train at home with a small cap gun (not as loud as the blank gun we use at PSA training), firing it during his down stays etc. I also randomly fired it in the house and basically threw him a party each time. He became accustomed to the sound and no longer finds it an issue at all including the louder blank gun we use at training. |

Good job with the training!
My wife is a youth shot gun instructor and we have taken Ruger to the range regularly since he was 12 weeks old. He never showed reaction to gun shots. However this past 4th of July he became very excited about the black cats that my son shot off. He ran over and tried to attack the smoking spot in the ground where they were lit. I sure hope this doesn't affect how he reacts during his trial. I guess we need to take a trip back out to the range to test him.

Cleaning Up (in) City Hall
Plenty of those driving to work right now might ride their bikes instead. If only they could shower at work. La Crosse city employees may have that opportunity soon. The city's planning on spending some money to put a shower in the basement. City councilman Bob Seaquist says this is just the latest in community changes that make it easier to bike and walk to work. The shower's got a price tag but it's mostly getting paid for with a county health grant.

Wisconsin Can Weather Fed Crisis Immediately, Harder LaterWisconsin could be in all sorts of financial trouble eventually should politicians in Washington not reach a budget deal this week. A memo written to governor Walker from secretary of Administration, Mike Huebsch details a long list of programs that could take a hit if the feds hit default on the nation's debt. Just a few; medical assistance, heating assistance, federal school funding, and natural resources. All face hundreds of millions of dollars in cuts if the federal government runs short on cash and has to prioritize spending. Huebsch says the state's current cash situation allows it to operate as normal without fed money for about three months. F.A.C.T. Hitting The Sidewalks Three area Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater La Crosse clubs will come together today in an effort to educate the public on the dangers of tobacco use. This F.A.C.T. (Fighting Against Corporate Tobacco) activity will take place at the Terry Erickson Club where West Salem, Amie L.Mathy and Erickson Club teens will come together and use sidewalk chalk to write messages and facts around the Club that are aimed at discouraging and preventing tobacco use. The F.A.C.T. program educates teenagers about the risks of tobacco use and how corporate tobacco is targeting youth in their ads. It then asks the teens do projects to inform the public about the risks associated with tobacco use. There will be an estimated 30 kids in attendance at this activity. A La Crosse County recently implemented and and funded the F.A.C.T program. Housing Shows Signs of Life in La Crosse AreaThere might be room for optimism in the local housing market. From State Bank Financial in La Crosse, senior v-p Wayne Oliver is encouraged by things he sees like the number of businesses that are hiring. Something that always has to happen, he says, before the housing market picks up. Oliver says mortgage applications are growing as hiring picks up in the area. Biggest movement appears to be in existing homes in the 130 to 170 thousand dollar price range. Although home sales and prices across the state for June were both down considerably from last year, the consensus is those numbers have been skewed by last year's home buyer tax credits. |

This was taken during my landscape photography workshop at this year's Gulf Photo Plus training event back in March, as an aid to demonstrating how to pre-visualise an image based on its post-production. And if you take a look at the original you'll see why this is a good image to use: there's not much merit in the original, and very little apparent detail. With the addition of a couple of curves though, one of which is almost vertical, the latent detail in the scene becomes much more apparent. The end result isn't exactly a masterpiece, but it is a whole lot better, and does illustrate the importance of thinking through how to transform a scene, rather than simply accepting it at face value.
If you're interested in the specific steps I went through to post-process this one I've added it as this week's Mini-PSD.

Groundfish fisheries in the southeast Bering Sea in Alaska have been constrained in recent years by management measures to protect the endangered Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus). There is concern that the present commercial harvest may produce a localized depletion of groundfish that would affect the foraging success of Steller sea lions or other predators. A three-year field experiment was conducted to determine whether an intensive trawl fishery in the southeast Bering Sea created a localized depletion in the abundance of Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus). This experiment produced strongly negative results; no difference was found in the rate of seasonal change in Pacific cod abundance between stations within a regulatory no-trawl zone and stations in an immediately adjacent trawled area. Corollary studies showed that Pacific cod in the study area were highly mobile and indicated that the geographic scale of Pacific cod movement was larger than the spatial scale used as the basis for current no-trawl zones. The idea of localized depletion is strongly dependent on assumed spatial and temporal scales and contains an implicit assumption that there is a closed local population. The scale of movement of target organisms is critical in determining regional effects of fishery removals.

I love the way you speak to me,
I love the way you always see,
The passion for you I feel so bright,
How nothing could ever feel so right.
I love the way you sing so sweet,
I'll love the day we finally meet.
Me in your arms, you holding me tight,
The beat of our hearts, one rhythm unite.
I love the way you softly laugh,
I love the way we moved so fast.
From like to love, we shared one thought:
"How could I love this person not?"
I love the way you say my name,
I love the way you never change.
Your loving words have touched my heart,
Oh, why must we be apart?
I love the way we stand together,
I love the way our desire is forever,
To share a love, one day we'll find,
From here and now, till' the end of time.
I love the way you came to me,
I love how this turned out to be,
So much better than I ever imagined,
And how perfectly it all came to happen.
I love the way it touches my soul,
Every time you say, "Nicole".
I love the ways of all that you do,
But all I want to say, is "I love you!"
A poem I wrote awhile back.
Oh, I just love this! This is totally my kind of literature, and you'd be hard pressed to find someone as picky as me! It's so beautiful~ You're going to make someone super happy someday!

Mopar, if I might suggest...
Perhaps you should look at the cause of the break. It appears as though the elevon split around the screws for the control horn. Maybe the screws for the control horn are providing too small of a bite on the elevon. What I do and suggest trying, is a flat piece of material (I use PVC gutter pipe, but a piece of 1/16 G-10 or C/F would be even better!) that you could splice in the elevon. When glued in with epoxy or jb weld, this gives a very large foot print for the control horn to bond to. Just my thoughts. Maybe you could talk blanik into making you a nice set of carbon vacuum-bagged elevons?? Kid PS, i picked up one of your super Medusa 28-56-2800 today, so im gonna need some prop recommendations soon |
The Kid, you are completely on the money!
I would advise very strongly against anyone using CF heli blades for control surfaces. It's been mentioned before, but no one's tried it, and I'm glad.
500 size heli blades are much heavier than an elevon, even a reinforced one like Mopar is running. Fine for a helicopter, but very bad as a control surface. The extra weight will increase load on the servos and worse, the risk of flutter! A heavier control surface flutters much more readily than a light one. Plus, hinging them would be tough. They're hollow, or filled with light foam, and hinges need some meat to bite into for their whole length. Please don't use heli blades! They're attractive because of their stiffness, but the weight will kill ya! |
I'm with The Kid on the control horn's footprint being too small. This is one place where the stock hardware comes in handy, as they have nice fat bases. I am SO GLAD you made it down without carnage! I'm also so glad you posted it, as I was about to install some just like yours on the elevons for my new bird. Balsa can be strengthened by dribbling some thin CA into it. You could drill your mounting screw holes, and poke dozens of pin holes in a quarter-sized area in and around where the horn sits. Soak thin CA into the area (no accelerator!) and once it's dry, redrill the screw holes. This will give you a rock hard base for the control horn to sit on, with no crushing from screws. |
I've seen that pin trick before adding CA. A guy who used to own a hobby shop in Washington state and had flown for 20 plus years did it to repair my Ultra stick 60 stabilizer. ***It was sticking out my passenger side window and I rolled the window up till I heard a crack (4-5 years ago) The wing laying vertical was blocking my view. He also used some baking soda ...I forget why...I was watching a TRUE master at work. Also he used a hobby knife to make some slits in outer balsa frame and stuffed in some stuff which looked like CA hinges but were stiffer. My cost: Pride, a lesson and a gallon of Nitro fuel for him. _________________________________________________ Mopar, Sorry about your elevons. Is the rest of the system o.k.? You can always make the elevons out of different wood materials heavier than WEAK Balsa....even if it is not the Birch Aircraft plywood (heavy and hard to file your way). Gryphon |
The baking soda accelerates CA and turns it to CONCRETE! Insanely hard, and gives it a little volume, too, for filling in cracks like your repair.
I've been playing with elevon materials on my current build, too. Given that something failed either aerodynamically or mechanically between elevon and servo on my last crash, I'm going for super strength, size, and throw. I built three sets to compare weights and stiffness. First was balsa covered in 6oz. glass with marine epoxy. Second was solid basswood. Third was balsa skinned with 1/64" aircraft ply. Balsa and ply was lightest, balsa and glass in the middle, and basswood was heaviest. Balsa and ply was stiffest, basswood was in the middle, and balsa and glass was the most flexy. So I'm going with the balsa and ply skin, as it's stiffest and lightest in my experience. I'm sure a glassed, bagged elevon would come out stiffer than my glass, and I'd probably go with that if I had the setup. |
I've always said that plywood covered balsa is EXTREMELY stiff. Seems like you did 1/64" on top and bottom. I do 1/32" just on bottom, so same weight...I also brush it with Epoxy. But, (if I am not mistaking) Moparmyway does multi-angle (Compound angle) filing of elevons to match contour of his wing. That filing is done after the elevons are mounted. Because of that file job, he cannot just have the balsa thinly skinned with plywood. Gryphon |
I have a suggestion that will help with a few problems you currently deal with. I ran it by you a few months ago, it had to do with Laminar Separation Bubbles http://www.mh-aerotools.de/airfoils/bubbles.htm Ill call you tomorrow on my lunch break -Dave |

The reason I said use the Heli blades is they do work very well. But you do have to get rid of the lead section that is in the baldes, first. What you do is then remove the amount of balde that you don't need in width. So if you started with a Trex 500 blade that is 425mm long and 35mm for leading edge to trailing edge. You end up with a blade that is 280mm X 25mm. Also you need to place a piece of CF rod across the long section that you removed, which will now be your leading edge. That is just an example, not the exact figures. So, I disagree with what is above. Thank You Elvan Wilson II P.S. Will post some pictures later! |
Remember what I said on the phone earlier in the day? Call me first for a reminder. Later bud, Gryphon |
Please weigh a heli blade elevon and compare it to a wooden one. You will be surprised at the difference. There is no getting around aerodynamics. You have to respect physics and play to its rules. And flutter is an aerodynamic, physical problem that is made HUGELY worse by heavy control surfaces. Are you saying we need to run elevons with a 1" chord???? We'll see how that goes... Please get a video of one of these flying over 120mph! Get sound, too, so we can hear the buzz! |
That idea is a great one !!! Murdnunoc, That idea of poking holes is a great one !!! How do you add the baking soda, after the CA is applied ?? Gryphon, Everything else is fine, including the 45/90c batts (thats what I carped in my pants over when it happened). Gotboosted, Thanks but I really need some advice from here. Work has me beyond busy, and I had to answer some very pointed questions about that call yesterday (the Home Depot call). Business only while @ work. Ender, I looked, but I didnt see any aileron stock in aluminum _______________________________________________ All, Thanks for every input and idea !!! Just waiting on boosteds ideas, then repairs will be made. I am leaning on a combo of Kids, Murdnunoc, and / or Gryphons ideas. A re-enforced footprint with larger horn area on a plywood added (lower side) with CA after poke holes, with no less than 5 CA hinges per wing. The 5 that I have on each wing now held on fine while the elevon got destroyed. Seems like it is easy now to see why my HS85MG's were getting hammered in flight !! I tried the heli blades one time, and after seeing the carnage that happens when cutting, and not wanting to rely on the relatively small hinge joint section, I didnt even try to do the install. |
Than motor kicks ARSE !!!! BUT....................... Its kv is super high, and a Stryker can only go so fast on a 6x4 sport prop (4s).............so you are limited to 3s for larger props. BEST 3s motor out there (Too bad they are out of business !!) |
